- foozed 7y agoAh ok, i thought the author meant FaceID in the passage: > I have my WeChat linked with the facial recognition scanner on my iPhone was not aware that WeChat has its own system. They don't get to use the "special" FaceID sensors/scanners though right? Just the camera?
- _ui4r 7y agoIt looks like depth data can be accessed through the AVFoundation framework provided by Apple. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/cameras_and_media_capture/streaming_depth_data_from_the_truedepth_camera https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/camer...
- rcao 7y agoNo, WeChat and Alipay do use FaceID to do payment verification on iPhone.
- NotPaidToPost 7y agoMaybe they do but at least WeChat have their own face recognition technology, in which case they do hold people's biometric data. This is not that big a deal in China considering that people have photo ID card, which means that the government already had everyone's biometric data.
